[QUOTE="The_Universe, post: 3067502, member: 8944"] I think there's a halfway point between what Liz and Chris are saying on this issue. While it probably doesn't make sense to start "baring souls" after so little time together, you should probably start looking for the "where and how" that Chris refers to. Don't force it; but be actively looking for a chance to [I]tie yourself to the group and the group to you[/I]. Now, while baring one's soul is certainly a way to engender a bit of trust from those around you, it may not be a palatable option for some of the PCs, especially at this early juncture. Assuming your alignment and class allow - don't be afraid to be manipulative. Present the interests you can openly admit to as something the other PCs may benefit from, as well. You all have interests in one for or another, and they'll be easier to pursue with help than they would be alone (probably). Sincere affection/friendship have not yet had a chance to grow, as Chris validly notes. However, in the interim, overlapping goals and common interests may do the trick. This is one of those things that a leader-type is definitely good for. It may take a single party member to ferret out the ways that you can tackle bigger issues together. [/QUOTE]
